Implant overdenture with a tapered bar and Lew passive attachments: clinical report.
Although the Lew attachment was originally developed in 1977 to provide retention for overdentures fabricated in conjunction with subperiosteal implants, these attachments can be used with other types of implants. A case is presented describing the use of Lew attachments with a tapered bar and seven root form implants.
